I have purchased some sets for their parts from resellers. (Don't tell
me, let me guess, some of you have, too!) In some instances those sets
were not NIB -- usually at my request, as I would rather save shipping
costs than receive a box that I'll just discard anyway. (Who are these
people who buy sets, and then leave them unopened???) To confirm that
all the parts from the set were actually present, I built the featured
model. This got me in the habit of building the featured model from all
the sets I buy, even ones off the store shelves. Then I disassemble
them, when my son isn't looking. :^)
